After socket_select() returns, all socket resources in all arrays must be checked. Any socket resource that is available for writing must be written to, and any socket resource available for reading must be read from."

Then, if we are watching, say 100 sockets, we must go through each one of them until we find the one we can now access. Instead, how about returning an array with 2 elements? $array[0] will be a pointer to the socket that was changed $array[1] will be "r" or "w" or "e" to indicate whether it's now avaible for read, write, or there is an error :). Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30926&edit=1
